KANSAS CITY, Mo. — According to The Dallas Morning News, police are searching for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice after a “major” car crash Saturday night in northeast Dallas.
A car believed to be registered or leased to Rice crashed on North Central Expressway at about 6:20 p.m. Saturday. Law enforcement confirmed with The Dallas Morning News that police are looking for him “in connection with the accident.”
ABC News Dallas affiliate WFAA posted dashcam video of the purported incident. TMZ also published photos of the crash site and reported that six cars were involved.
It was not immediately clear if Rice was involved in the crash or if he was suspected of any charges, according to The Dallas Morning News report.
Police have since told the newspaper “Preliminary investigation determined a driver in a Chevrolet Corvette and a driver in a Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane…where both lost control of their vehicles.”
This caused the Corvette and Lamborghini to crash, resulting in four other vehicles to crash, giving minor injuries to the people inside the other four cars.
Those inside the Corvette and Lamborghini “all ran from the crash without stopping to see if anyone needed medical help or providing any of their information,” according to a Dallas police spokesperson. Police are still trying to identify the suspects.
The updated report from The Dallas Morning News states that a Dallas police call sheet lists “Rice as the suspected driver of the Corvette.”
Rice, a native of a Dallas suburb and an SMU graduate won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs in his rookie season and finished with the second most receiving yards behind tight end Travis Kelce.
WR Rashee Rice has retained counsel, per the source. A release on the incident is expected sometime tomorrow.
